Flat

Hole for jack would work, but IMHO not the best plan.

Well as I said earlier,the vast majority of my changing tires is in the middle of nowhere where options are limited...You also have the option of driving to a more suitable spot on your flat to change the tire and run the risk of ruining your tire,not an option for me..I change on the spot and deal with it as is...Remember,99% of my flats have been in remote areas where you deal with what you have...

As to the axle tube,never seen one bent from a jack or heard of one..Is this another ticket for being over weight in a truck camper on rv.net..:B

Who in sam hill is talking about driving to another location? Any surface you can dig a hole in, and many places you can't, you can lay a block on the ground, pull on it. The only place that would be a issue is if you are under low clearance. And in that case a jack wouldn't work.
And as to how many axles are bent, I can't say. But I bought a ton GMC with a broken axle. Replaced the axle, it broke again less than 1000 miles, no load. This time I checked closer. The tube on that side was bent up in center.
Customer had bearing noise on F-350. Much harder than normal to remove axle. Bent up in center. I can not say a jack did it, but the housings where bent.
Also I can't say yours will bend. But when I lay my money on the Blackjack table I might loose it, or I might pick up double. IMHO gamble on jack under the tube very little, if any win and a lot to loose.
